Babies

We had a special birthday weekend (She is 1!) with our little daughter and as part of a couple of religious events, B needed a white dress. I decided to bust out one of my favorite patterns EVER, and make B the same dress as I made Emily (full pattern review) last spring- The Georgia Twirl(…)

A long while ago, Jen and I participated in Color Your Summer, a fun series hosted by Kojo Designs and Delia Creates. At the time, we were one of the first color pickers, and when we thought of summer we both thought: Red. Now, when it came to project pickin’ time, and we were(…)
